Not sure. I'm sure both of these phones will be announced at MWC happening next month.
@Josh: How come? T-Mobile was the first network to have the first Android phone, G1.
Supported by Nexus One, Nexus S.

Well if anything I'm waiting for best buy to sell the GSM Galaxy Nexus. But the Tmobile thing would be great as I could get it with a 2 year contract upgrade hence being less money.
I hope Tmobile does get it because of that.

Well for one, it would probably be news everywhere by now, and for T-Mobile to sell it it has to clear the FCC.. and such has not happened yet so that automatically pushes it back a few months if T-Mobile ever gets it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Also.. just because they were the first doesn't really mean anything.. There is no news of anyone carrying the phone stateside outside of Verizon and Sprint.

Just wondering.. how come you're waiting for Best Buy to have it? A GSM carrier such as T-Mobile and AT&T needs to offer it. And from rumors, AT&T wants to remove the pentaband off GSM Galaxy Nexus (not sure why). You'll also have to pay tax.
Buying it from Expansys or Negri will give you one-year warranty. Also, you won't have to pay taxes.
@joshnichols189: That is true about the FCC. Just wish we had the full information on Verizon's exclusivity and what it really meant in full terms.
Exclusivity really hurts the customer in the long-run.
Just figured since T-Mobile had been the first network in the U.S. to get things rolling for Android that they wouldn't have such a big problem convincing Google to provide the Galaxy Nexus to their network. Not to mention, it wouldn't take much effort since the phone supports pentaband (4G on their network already). But T-Mobile may want the Snapdragon processor so the phone is 100% compatible with 41Mbps (theoretically) to market the phone.
It's funny because the people working at Google were giving away the GSM variant of the Galaxy Nexus rather than the CDMA one for Christmas.

Because my mother (the one who will technically purchase the phone) doesn't want to buy one from overseas.
So being able to go to best buy and get it would be preferred, and when I say the GSM version I do mean international (UK) because I don't need the LTE radio and it also causes problems

Edit: still @ same price to ship one from UK as was upon release?

You're not buying one from overseas (well.. they come from overseas but when you buy they dont ship from overseas at time of purchase). When you purchase off Amazon, Newegg, Negri Electronics, Expansys or whatever the phones are already in their warehouses ready to be shipped as long as payment is done.
Even some Frys stores are selling the phone in stores.
There are only two variants of the phone: toro (CDMA/LTE) and maguro (GSM). The maguro variant is a pentaband phone meaning it supports 4G on BOTH AT&T and T-Mobile (HSPA+ 21Mbps theoretical speeds).
And no prices are not the same. They've been dropping because a White version of Galaxy Nexus is coming along with 32GB GSM versions.

Right I would need the Maguro..
So what's the cheapest for 16GB Black at the moment?

You don't need to worry about accidently buying the wrong model.
maguro = GT-I9250

$656.50... there are coupons on the internet that can make it cheaper, I'll try looking on their twitter feed since I remembered seeing one
Edit: nope none valid at the time unless you want a white GN which is $60 more expensive.

Alright good luck. If the phone retails for like $529.99, it'll come out to be $580 after taxes. Just a heads up.
They also ship from Las Vegas, NV.

[Q] Purchasing Galaxy Nexus

I will be purchasing a galaxy nexus from a friend in a few days.He told me that he has not paid the etf fee for the phone, I was curious if the phone would work if I had a lte sim card or if I signed up for new service. Thanks for the help in advance.

You'll have to call Verizon and see what they can do if anything, they might not let you activate it.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW

The phone will be blacklisted from ever connecting to Verizon's network until your friend pays the money he owes to Verizon. Tell him to stop being a cheap ass and pay his bill.

I would suggest that you pass on this "gift".

Verizon usually doesn't usually budge on unblacklisting phones so you might be screwed.

Even better, buy it from Amazon for something like $0.01. Or if he's off contract there are plenty of non-blacklisted phones for sale on Craigslist, eBay, XDA marketplace, etc..

I'm currently with Verizon I have the galaxy nexus but wish I stayed with t mobile or went with att,I had a g1 on release day ordered my nexus 1 when it was available for pre orders. purchased the nexus s, but returned it ASAP because of bugs and reboots. I'm not knocking Verizon, because their network is phenomenal compared to tmobile, but I had so much freedom with tmobile hardware wise the galaxy nexus old but superior to other phones because of its software in only saying that I will no longer purchased anything but a nexus.

my GF has a LTE Nexus, and i have a GSM model. my phone is far more stable with regards to radio stability. her phone is a mess when it comes to LTE/CDMA handoffs.
i should probably check for a radio update for her phone...

^Mine doesn't! It's been solid all around since day 1. :good:

At this point in time the gsm Nexus is one of the best deals around. I've been kicking myself for a while now for going with verizon and not prepaid. $350 for the phone and $50 or less a month for service is crazy cheap compared to Verizon or any other postpaid.
The way google did everything, I suspect they planned on this phone hitting its stride 6-8 months after it's release. When the unsubsidized price dropped to reasonable levels, BAM they put it up for sale themselves and put Jellybean on it making the Nexus a superphone that is semi affordable.

I don't get plagued by all these radio issues people talk about.
Having a GSM Nexus isn't possible for me so I'm happy with my CDMA Nexus and I don't think any less or more of the GSM variant.

If only At&t would offer unlimited data I would never have this CDMA crap again.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I have a VZW Galaxy Nexus and I agree with you guys even though I have no rational proof to support my claim.
Please indulge my anecdotal justification instead:
It feels like the GSM versions are better supported, maybe not in the dev community (it still seems like all of the development who provide updates also have GSM versions and I'm very curious to know if any of them use the VZW version as their main phone.) That may or may not be the case but CDMA support from manufacturers seems to be an afterthought at times. VZW doesn't even get some of the nicer phones sometimes. They really came through with getting us the original Droid though. That was a great phone. I haven't had a phone yet that I've liked as much as I liked the Droid when it was new.
I still have to point out that where I live my VZW Nexus still gets me more reliable service (even with its assinine bounces between 3g/LTE in my office) than anyone using a phone on any other carrier. Having a great flashy phone with the latest updates does little good if you can't get online. Sure my coworker gets 40MB/s up and down when he's at the north side of our building but he has to tether to me if he wants to get online where we spend most of the day.
If I spent a lot of time where I could get reliable GSM connections at the price I'm paying VZW with my discount, I'd switch in a heartbeat.

Verizon marks phones for unpaid bills and other stupid ****. They black listed my Droid Incredible because I terminated my contract for the Nexus. DINC is literally a brick now.

That DINC can be used on alternate networks like cricket or metropcs that accept foreign esns... it not really hard to flash/reprogram them if you look a little bit.. that's the reason they are sold on craigslist all the time.

Question bout galaxy nexus

I have had a nexus one since day one. Love it and still runs smooth. Was thinking of getting a galaxy nexus. From the folks that had the gn for awhile should I make the move. And what's best prices out there? And can the verizon be unlocked for Cincinnati bell? Thanks for any info.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app

Best price you can get would be from Google the unlocked GSM version on the Play Store is 350$ which is nice considering any other unlocked GSM is hitting the 600 or so at least that i've seen. It is a huge upgrade from that phone seriously though that is an old phone! I think you will be quite pleased with the Gnex especially coming from the Nexus one. If Cincinnati Bell is a GSM type deal i dont think so Verizon's is CDMA even though the SIM is not embedded you cant just stick whatever SIM you want and it will work.

Cincinnati Bell uses the same frequencies as T-Mobile so you want an unlocked GSM model. IMHO you can't beat the $350 for a NEW device direct from Google.

Ditch verizon for the $350 unlocked GSM Nexus from Google Play (No, the verzion can't be unlocked for CB, it's not even gsm.)
Be sure to check out the prepaid plans for (usually) the best cost. Here's the most popular t-mobile one around these parts, supplemented with google voice.
Also, if you're satisfied enough with what you have right now, you can wait a few months for the next nexus. The GN would probably take a price hit at the same time, so either way you'd benefit from it.
